He would do so much to see Merlin look that happy, that smitten at him. Dean found himself blushing just a little without any real reason why. It just happened but it was good, a good feeling that caused it.

Even with his hands pinned he leaned up and met Merlin halfway for the kiss, going slow and steady and warm. He tried to say he loved him in the kiss. When the kiss ended he rubbed his nose against Merlin's, just being sweet and affectionate because he wanted to.

"I'm so glad you came back," he said softly. Life would be so different without Merlin around. Dean knew it just wouldn't be as good as it was now.
